Makes enough so that this is the only vegetable side dish you will need for a meal. Turmeric, salt, ground cumin, ground coriander seed and cayenne pepper should be combined in one separate holding dish before you start cooking. |

| Directions |
|
- Wash and peel potatoes, cut into ½ inch cubes.
- Pour oil into a large non-stick saucepan or wok and place over medium heat. Once hot (test with a single potato cube), add potatoes and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until light to medium brown. Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon and place on a cookie sheet double lined with kitchen/paper towel. Set aside in a warm place.
- Add green beans to hot oil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until bean skins just begin to blister. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the cookie sheet holding the potatoes. Keep warm.
- Add cauliflower florets to hot oil. While cauliflower is cooking, whisk the turmeric, salt, cumin, coriander seed, cayenne pepper and water together in a small bowl to form spice blend. Set aside. Turn the cauliflower florets occasionally while cooking. After 5 minutes, or when florets begin to brown at the edges, remove pan/wok from the burner. Remove cauliflower florets from oil with a slotted spoon and place on cookie sheet with the potatoes and green beans. If necessary, pat vegetables with paper towel to remove excess canola oil.
- Remove all but 2 tbsp of oil from pan/wok. Over medium high heat cook the ginger for about a minute. Add potatoes, green beans and cauliflower. Quickly whisk the spice blend again and pour over top. Continue stirring until heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve garnished with chopped cilantro.
NOTE: Cilantro and coriander leaves are one in the same.
